Dear ecofem-ers, hello! I've been away for the summer, and still haven't
had time to read the archives, but I look forward to reading what your
posts once again.
Meanwhile, I'm just getting ready to send a manuscript to Haworth Press
that I and others have been working on for several years. Haworth has
asked us to provide the names of 8 pre-publication reviewers. I was
wondering whether anyone on this list might be interested in reviewing the
manuscript. Compensation for the task is a copy of the finished product
(and of course, if your review is a rave, they may quote you when selling
the book!)
The anthology, entitled "Transforming the Disciplines," is intended as a
new type of textbook for "Intro to Women's Studies" courses. Composed of
twenty-six essays, each from a different academic discipline, the book
contains eight humanities essays, eight social sciences essays, five
natural sciences essays, and five from the professional fields. Each is a
very brief discussion of how feminism and/or women's studies has changed
(or at least, how it has affected) the field. The book's authors hail from
the US, Canada, Australia, and England. Because the intended reader is
first year college students, all essays are written in a non-technical
style. As a reviewer, you would need to know very little about the
specific disciplines in order to review the book, which is about three
hundred pages long.
Please don't send replies to the list, but instead directly to me, at

Thanks! --E.
